Álex Collado ends his contract this summer and Barça has not yet decided whether to exercise the automatic renewal of the player. The youth squad should be part of the first team if it is done, but if they do not exercise it there will be consequences

Álex Hill is the captain and one of the best players of the FC Barcelona B. The Catalan is from does years one of the big jewels of the Masia and right now is to give the jump to First Division. The problem is that in the first team there is not too hollow in his position and the club has to decide what do with him. It finishes agreement this summer and is one of the pending subjects that has Joan Laporta.

The Barça has a unilateral option to expand the agreement of the footballer until 2023, but has not decided if it will exert it or no. With this renewal, the one of Sabadell would happen to perceive an upper wage to the that has at present and would have to happen to form part of the first staff. Besides, his clause of rescission, that now is of 50 million euros, would become of 100 to avoid a possible escape.

However, not signing the deal and leave him free is a quite remote option according to the information of 'Sport'. In the sportive newspaper Catalan ensure that in case of not exerting the automatic renewal, the Barcelona would have to indemnify to the mediapunta with 400.000 euros.

Álex has not played neither an alone minute with the first team this course and seems that the Dutch trainer does not have him in high esteem.

The Barça could renew to Hill to do box with him

By all this, if the sportive direction and the own technician of the Barça give his seen well, is possible that the club renew to the alone Catalan to do box with him. This is an option that is on of the table from does days and that is winning strength by his good performances. The player Is going out with the B and has called the attention of a lot of teams in Europe that would be had to pay a traspaso by him.

Taking into account the delicate economic situation of the Barcelona, sell players this summer is something fundamental. It is necessary to collect what more better money and besides also is necessary to reduce mass salarial, by what undo of the new agreement of Hill and receive an economic compensation by him would be very positive economically speaking. The problem is that the canterano is very good, has very good paints and can that inside some years the culés arrepientan of not to have it remained.
